Hair

In the springtime there is a sense of an awakening when we hear the birds chirping and see the dreary snow finally melting from winter. In Greeley, Colorado our thoughts turn to deciding on whether to plant a garden this year or just frequent the local farmer’s market, who’s graduating this year, when is the Derby party, what am I wearing on Mother’s Day for our brunch outing and what fun new events are being planned by Accessories with a Flair! . . . and Hair? We’ll keep you posted on the events, for now let’s talk about helping you out with fashion choices for Graduation and Mother’s Day Gift Ideas.

If you are attending a graduation ceremony and following party it’s best to take a layering approach. It’s the time of year when you can stand in the shade and catch a chill or move to the sunshine and get a sunburn that will bother you for days. It’s best to protect your face with a stylish hat and sunglasses combination. A dress or top with small sleeves is always comfortable and we have a great assortment of shawls, scarfs and toppers to help you warm up or simply just add a bit of style to your outfit.

Do you remember the Spring 2014 colors we posted on Facebook? Exactly the reason why we’ve got them here for you to see. Drop the dark winter navy and grey from last fall and step into new spring colors in both your fashion and your make-up applications. If you’d like to try some new make-up styles you should consider our special Get Glamourized! Eventhappening on May 9th and 10th here at Accessories with a Flair! . . . and Hair.

We’ll dress you in style, fix your hair, add a bit of foundation and color and take your picture as a glamour shot or a business picture. Call us at 970-351-6448 to ensure you and a friend have a spot – we announced the event and had to add another day it was so popular!

Woo-hoo - send it to the masses:

Do you get tired of seeing all the star’s hair looking full, voluminous and wildly healthy? Long and flowing, moving in the wind with a mere shake of their head? Were they born with it?…or do they have a secret?

When you think of how much torture their hair goes through (changing color, being under hot lights, curling, straightening, updos, blow outs etc.) They DO have a secret…it’s all in using the right products and using them correctly.

A normal hair has 3 layers. As we age, the center (which is the strength) diminishes. Eventually it may go away all l together so that your hair feels more fine or thin and you may think you’re losing your hair when in fact, your hair is just SKINNY!

Here are some tips for fuller hair (and by the way, we DO sell these products in our salon!)

1. Use a shampoo like “Full” which weightlessly cleanses hair and makes it feel thicker. An everyday shampoo may be too much so you need “Prime style extender” that locks the style in longer, weather proofs your hair and repels oil and dirt.

2. Don’t over condition your hair, just use enough to detangle and make hair shine. Use “Satin Serum” to smooth, eliminate frizz and create shine with no oils or silicone.

3. Before styling, apply a “Thickening Cream” or “Weightless Styling Spray” or “Thickening Mousse” to add fullness, not give hair a dirty feeling. Read labels. Anything containing paraffin , beeswax or alcohol are cheap fillers made to coat the hair which can impair coloring or perming.

4. Blow hair dry upside down until roots are mostly dry, then finish the damp ends with a round brush.

5. We use “Flex” shaping spray which can be used on damp hair or dry hair as a setting spray, heat protectant or brushable hairspray. Spray on hairspray upside down, then let hair fall with gravity as you stand up. Use hairspray as a styling tool not just a way to mat down a style.

Healthy hair always looks fuller. We are all guilty of over-coloring, over-perming and over torturing our hair. Stop by our salon so we can analyze your hair, prescribe the right products and find a solution for those bad hair days. We can make your skinny hair look fat and full!

At Accessories with a Flair! . . and Hair we want you to “Come as you are… and leave like a STAR!”

We like to be called your “Image Magician” because we love to help you create a new wardrobe by adding a few new pieces.

You’re going to love the rich colors this Fall. Arriving daily in our store are clothes and jewelry in emerald green, cobalt blue, copper, bronze, navy and gray. Black and white combos never go away (just like animal prints) and they can be incorporated with reds and turquoise for an interesting mix. Here is a great chart to help guide your Fall 2013 Style choices so you can add warmth, richness, sophistication or lively moods – just from colors you choose.

Your Fall Color Guide for 2013

If your hair has faded being out in the sun, it’s time to add rich hi-lites or low-lites in chocolate, butterscotch and burnished copper. Beautiful color doesn’t matter if your hair looks dry, brittle and abused. The right shampoo really does make a difference and we can prescribe deep conditioning products you can use once a week to revive your hair. Consider the Restore product from Living proof in our salon. It will bring you hair back to life!

Is there just the right hairstyle for you?Your hair type, lifestyle and face shape can dictate the most flattering style for you. Come in and try on one of our Raquel Welch wigs to test different colors and styles before you make a major change in your hair. Wigs really are a fashion accessory, great for work, play and bad hair days.

If you’re still wearing the same make-up colors you wore in high school, it is time for a change.When we do photo shoots, weddings, professional looks and classes for beginning make-up wearers, a few make-up tricks make a difference. We’ve added Airbrush Make-up Application for the flawless look everyone wants.
